Transcendental Meditation, Mindfulness and Longevity:
An Experimental study with the elderly
Can direct change in state of consciousness through specific mental techniques extend human life and reverse age-related declines? To address this question, 73 residents of 8 homes for the elderly (mean age 81 years) were randomly assigned
Among no treatment, and 3 treatments highly similar in external structure an expectations: The Transcendental Meditation ™ program, mindfulness training (MF) in active distinction making, or a relaxation (low mindfulness) program. A planned comparison indicated that the “restful alert” (TM) program, mindfulness training (MF) in active distinction making, or a relaxation (low mindfulness) program. A planned comparison indicated that the TM group improved most, followed by MF, in contrast to relation and no-treatment groups on paired associate learning: 2 measures of cognitive flexibility, aging, and treatment efficacy. The MF group improved most, followed by TM, on perceived control and word fluency. After 3 years the survival rate was 100% for TM and 87.5% for MF in contrast to lower rates for other groups.

masculine and feminine, conscious and unconscious, fate and freewill, or whatever other polarity is present – there then may arise, through no assurance of how or when, The sudden resolution of the tension and a deep structural transformation, despite the apparently irresolvable imprisonment and darkness of the current polarized condition.

Forward You Are THAT Gangaji
One of the things which I’ve come to feel very strongly is that we should completely abolish the distinction between science and engineering.
